As mentioned on the previous page, the boy's 800 wasn't the only race that went into the thousandths-of-a-second...
Sophia McHenry and Peyton Holmes made the 100 a photo-finish, with McHenry getting the W with a 12.204 clocking, which was inches ahead of Holmes' 12.207.
These two battled again several hours later in the 200, and this time McHenry made sure there was no question of who crossed the line first - she won the event in 25.32, while Holmes was second in 25.45.
Doubling upwards in distance, Haley Esser popped two consecutive PRs in the 400. The Eaglecrest senior ran 57.44 in the prelims, and then came back Saturday to win the finals in 57.98. Kel McDavid was second in 58.55.
The 800 was a burner from the opening strides - Kinsey Christianson made sure of that. The Cherry Creek senior set a hot early pace, setting this race up for - yes you guessed it - another meet record!
Christianson led from start to finish, winning the event in 2:11.59. Jaycee Williams took second in 2:12.99, which was just ahead of Avery Marr's 2:13.97, and Addison Price's 2:14.49.
On a separate note: imagine running 2:11, and being the second-fastest half-miler on your own team. Cherry Creek is deep.
On the topic of setting hot paces and winning from the opening strides: Riley Stewart.
The Cherry Creek senior ran the 1,600 like clockwork, soloing a CO No. 1 of 4:48.24. Teammate Shelby Balding kicked late to catch Emma Stutzman at the line, running 5:00.31 to Stutzman's 5:00.37. Isabel Allori was a close fourth, running a 3A No. 1 of 5:01.50.
The night before Stutzman shined bright under the lights - one spike and all - in the 3,200.
Keeghan Edwards led Stutzman and Tristian Spence through the opening laps. Stutzman's right spike flipped off before the trio reached the mile.
Despite losing her spike so early in the race, Stutzman battled on, and even kicked past Edwards in the final lap with one spike, and one black sock, to win the event in a CO No. 3 of 10:47.95, which was just three-tenths-of-a-second behind Bri Oakley's meet record of 10:47.67. Edwards took second in 10:50, while Spence was third in 11:00.
On the topic of battles...
Kendall McCoy and Amelia Hubbell took the 100H down to the line, with McCoy winning the event just off her PR in 14.80, which was just ahead of Hubbell's 14.83.
Hubbell doubled back to battle Kylie Bahr in the 300H, and once again took a runner-up finish. Bahr won the event in 45.58, while Hubbell was second in 45.96.
Circling back to Cherry Creek's depth - they rocked out a state-leading 3:57.67 in the 4x400
Meanwhile, the bar was set at 5-3 in the high jump, and Brooke Naughton, Sierra Haberman (pictured above), and Annika McKown cleared the mark.
Eleanor Sherman won the high jump in 16-9, while Kylee Kielian won the triple in 36-8.25.
In the pole vault Anna Willis kept her unblemished winning streak alive, clearing 12-4 for win No. 6 of the season, and a meet record.
Likewise, Giavonna Meeks swept the throws, winning the discus in meet record of 156-10, and the shot put in 39-5.5. Kajsa Borrman had a season-best 146-2 to finish second in the discus.
